Trampoline Day on the Promenade (The Emissary rides free)

i have this half-baked idea about molly o’brien working on a school project on the different species and cultures on ds9 and she has to go around interviewing people about their home planets and their animals/plants/climate

worf (has barely been on qo’nos): ”the targ is a beautiful and honorable animal.” end of interview. 0/10.

jadzia: in-depth and quite disgusting explanation about how the symbiont works, including the transplantation process. way too many medical details are included but molly seems to like it. 5/10.

garak: in-depth explanation about the different animals and plants on prime with a long detour into what types of poetry have been written about each one. he goes home and drinks himself to sleep afterwards. alcohol poisoning/10.

quark: ”yeah ferenginar fucking SUUUUUUUCKS. write that down, kid. S-U-C-K-S” useless/10.

[exlibra]

odo: slithers into a drain to avoid questions about the founders and also because he’s scared of human children. slime/10

julian: HE’S GOT SO MUCH TO TELL YOU ABOUT EARTH AND ALSO BIG PUPPY EYES. irrelevant to the assignment/10

[unamccormack]

Miles: lovingly prepares a full presentation about the birdlife of Ireland; Molly doesn’t ask him. Sad/10

had a dream last night that the hot new trek ship taking over tumblr was Julian/Janeway. 90% of the fan works were epistolary fic where Julian gets really into the idea of the doomed mission of voyager and sends Janeway fanmail once they re-establish contact, which rapidly turns into a steamy long-distance romance that brings them both much needed distraction from their respective spirals into depression and gives fans free reign to write Janeway going full cougar. and it was so hugely popular in my dream like every third post on the dash was about them

Kira Nerys's relationships are so funny. Imagine your boss is a messenger to the gods. Your boyfriend is a cardinal, then your next boyfriend is the prime minister. You have personal beef with the pope. Hitler wants to fuck you. And you end up dating a mall cop.

Hi my name is Elim (Tain) Garak and I have ebony black hair as soft as a regnar’s (that's how I got my code name) with gray streaks that reaches my chin and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Enabran Tain (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Preloc but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie and an amazing author. I'm half Hebitian but I pass as full Cardassian. I have pale gray scales. I'm also a spy, and I live in a space station called DS9 in Bajoran space where I’m a tailor (I'm 49). I'm a patriot (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly cardassian styles. I love the National State Clothiers and I illegally import all my fabrics from there. For example today I was wearing a brown shirt with matching brown pants and a shoulder pads, purple accents and a leopard print undershirt. I had gel in my hair, blue ridge blush and forehead blush. I was walking around the promenade. The temperature controls were malfunctioning so it was warmer than usual, which I was very happy about. A lot of federajis stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

This has been a learning curve for me. Thank you, Tumblr, I’m enjoying my time here (I’m 54).

Thinking about drink symbolism in Deep Space Nine. The most famous, of course, is root beer, and how it serves as a shorthand for insidious Federation soft power; but then there's also kanar, which gets used to symbolize Damar's moral degradation; raktajino, which symbolizes getting to work / business as usual; bloodwine, which symbolizes the bond between Klingon warriors, and between Worf and O'brien; red-leaf tea, which seems to have connotations of smug Cardassian feelings of cultural superiority; scotch whisky, which emblemizes the friendship between Miles and Julian; probably others.

[unamccormack]

Yum, very nice. Raktajino always symbolises multiculturalism to me. And a little of the accommodation of root beer. Rokassa juice is what kids drink when they’re off school sick.

[knivesandteeth]

Dont forget the gay symbolism and phallic imagery of that kanar bottle in 'The Wire'

It’s kind of a shame that Subcommander T’rul never appeared again after “The Search.” Would have been neat to have a recurring non-evil Romulan character in Star Trek, especially after Worf joined Deep Space Nine.
